Hi!

It would be very nice, if one could apply XSL transforms on the editor's text, in addition to the search and replace. Reason being, that it is often much more convenient when re-working badly scanned and HTML'ized ebooks from another source (think MS Office exports) to use XPath than regex for the XHTML.

Generically implemented, this could even be a feature, that allows the current editor's text being routed through any command-line program and reloaded upon successful exit of that program. Which would allow for all kinds of external filters.
